Have you ever encounter a storm?

Jesus Calms The Storm
please read:http://biblia.com/bible/niv/Mk4.37-41

           Went to Kingdom City last Sunday. Thanks to Jonathan again for fetching Suey Erz,Joannes and I! It's PS James Aiton who shared his testimony with us,and it's about his test by God,the greatest storm in his life.It's very very inspiring and strong message that I don't have appropriate words to describe it.Truly.

           There is one thing PS James said,and it sounded something like this: " people some times tease others about how little faith others have in God for they fear when they are facing storms and they turn to God.But i admire them for turning to God because the first person they ask for help when they're in trouble is God. Who will be the first person you go to when you're facing a storm?Is it God?" I guess not everyone of us turn to God in the first place.Most of us will try to handle it by ourselves,thinking me might be able to make it by our own.But if you think again,without God,who are we?He is the one who gave us every breath,He is the one who gives us strength.Without Him,can we even do anything?
         
            PS James faced his storm and even though he started to have questions like "why am I the one suffering?",he decided to believe and surrender to God.All because God had sent His only son,Jesus to die on the cross for all of us,all our sins.And it's bigger than all of his doubts.He also reminded us that we're serving an awesome God,who created the universe and breathe life into us. He had a vision after that and he talked about how he felt God's strength and comfort flowing in him. It's so truly inspiring.

           Well,you may ask,why do Christians still face problems and loss? Aren't we suppose to have a great and easy life? Well,the answer to your questions is NO.Just because we believe in God doesn't mean the road for us is wider,doesn't mean the grass is greener or the birds sing to us or our lives is easier. BUT,it means that we're turning from highway to hell to the road to heaven.Turning 180 degrees away from evil and starts walking with God. It means whenever we're facing a storm,Jesus will be with us and that we'll never be alone. And when we accepted Him,He lives in our hearts. We'll be tested by God for our faith and we will never know why.But after the incident,we'll emerge as a better person,with stronger faith and better character.It helps in shaping our soul,which is the only thing we have,that last forever.

Remember,no matter what happens,God is with us and He never fails.We will not understand why we encounter such pain,but He knows why and He will stand with us through it all. We'll never walk alone.


"even when you're in the storm,know that Jesus is still in your boat."

gulps

and I just remembered,tomorrow is the report card day where parent/ parents go to school and take your results.yeap the day most students dreaded. Hope my parents are not going to yell at me for my poor results.
*sigh*
good day,everyone.

Lift your hands

this song is so truly amazing.
lift your hands and surrender to God when you're in your misfortune instead of holding your hands into fists.
let your faith arise when you're in trouble instead of turning away from Him.
thank Him for giving you every breath you take instead of looking at the hardships He's put you through to test you.

If you're losing faith, do what you need to find Him again.
If you do not know God,maybe it's time for you to know about Him,for He has found you.

You may think how superstitious I am but seriously,it's just because you haven't seen and know about what He did for me and how much He inspires me daily. You could too,if you just open your heart :)

second chance

Well,I've sat for MUET (Malaysian University English Test) during this mid year and I've only gotten a band4. it's neither a low band 4 nor a high band4,but a middle band4 *sigh* so it is really difficult to decide if I should retake it or not. I mean,it's not like I only need a few more marks to get a band5,but another 17 marks.

Truth be told,i'm glad a got a band4 even though based on the exam slip, I only have a "satisfactory command of English". There're only 4 students in the whole Pre-University in my school who got a band5,and most of the students only got a band3.Which i really don't understand because there're so many students who got a band4 or higher in other schools. Anyways, yes i'm glad i got a score higher than 200,which is the minimum score needed for most of the courses. But then,as i think again,why settle for the minimum requirement? Why not just try my luck and give myself a second chance? Even if I were to screw my second attempt in MUET(lets just pray that I won't!), I still have my 203 in hand.

So yeah,i'm giving myself another chance :) and this time,just hope for the best!

Humming to: Planetshakers- How I Love You

God Is Able

No beginning and no end 
You're my hope and my defense
You came to seek and save the lost 
You paid it all upon the cross


Hillsong Live's new album, God Is Able is out in July!!

glory to God :)

Knowing I'm found
In the light of the aftermath 

no procrastination

"You can't expect people to put you on their shoulders and carry you around forever,at some point,you'll need to walk!"

The above sentence is quoted from a tuition teacher of mine.
True enough,you can't depend on others.
It's your life and if you don't make an effort,who will?

Don't wait for the right time to come,because if you're willing to,every second is a chance to turn your life around.

Thank You,for You've been inspiring me and giving me faith ever since.

appreciate

Do not take things for granted.
What you have right now,your family,your life,your friends,every possession of yours,
Please value them because we might not have them forever,and when we lose them, we'd rather have thoughts like "i remember.. how great.. how nice.." rather than "I should have.. why didn't I.. "

Leave no regrets because you can't turn back time to undo things. No one can.

Blessed

A leap of faith finally.
Thank you Lord for giving me all the strength and faith I needed.
Please give me more strength to endure everything that is coming after this and I pray that my faith in You grows through everyday and help me in learning more about You.

I love You,Lord and I need You in my life.

This journey has just started and I know it's going to be the best decision that I've ever made.Thank you to everyone who had prayed for me and helped me.Thank you so much :)

Finally,hope is here, hope is here. 

everlasting friendship

Had a very spontaneous outing with Siew Li and Sue Jin awhile ago and suddenly the conversation about friends being strangers came up.
strangers --> friends --> strangers
an inevitable cycle? i hope not.
but if one day it happened on us,i just want you guys to know that you guys have been a great friend and I'm definitely blessed to have friends like you.But words will never be enough,so just hold on to our friendship and hopefully we'll not return to being strangers.

*siew li was snapping photos with my phone but apparently she did not snap her own photo :/

till next time we meet :) love you babes!

You pull me aside when something ain't right
You talk with me now and into the night
Till it's alright again
